QuoteLet me begin by saying this - The death penalty as it is used today is not a deterant for future criminals.
Quote
Maybe not...but it's definitely a deterrent
against a possible repeat offender.
Some crimes deserve nothing less...kill a cop or
a kid you die...
Circumstantial?
Don't ever get yourself in circumstances that
you can so readily be found guilty beyond reasonable doubt.
What about vindication/revenge for the
surviving family is bad?!
An EYE for an EYE...
It called thining the heard...and it's not done enough.
It DOES work...criminals nationwide have gotten the message that if you kill someone here in Texas...
We'll kill you back!

That's one of the first falacies that gets debunked in Justice Stiudies; deterrence must be accompanied with choice - those on death row are virtually w/o choice. It sounds cute to say that the DP has a specific (as opposed to general) deterent value, but with no choice the element of deterrence is moot.

Which are 2 of the 10 aggravating factors Arizona employs when determining which cases to bring forward for death qualification.

So for Ray Crone of Arizona that was playing darts inthe local bar. So I guess we are relegated to living alone and knowing no one so we can't be accused. Oh wait, then we have no legitimate alibi if wrongly accused. Ray Crone was heavily for CP until he spent 2 years on death row and 8 more in GP for a murder he didn't commit. 300k later of his families money he was finally exonerated by a judge, not a wonderful sampling of our peers that love to fry em now, ask questions later.

Old Testament retribution..... a wonderful thing to teach our kids.... hmmmm, where oh where do they get these wild ideas of killing people? Must be that rock-n-roll music that brainwashes them, not the evening news that details how the establishment kills em all the time. Degradation of society; where dothey get those ideas?
It called thining the heard...and it's not done enough.
So you want to kill peole to dissuade others to kill? Now, add the element of killing some innocent people to attempt to thwart the killing of innocent people..... hmmmm. Aweful, rotten, horrible counties like Russia have abandoned the practice as they know they were killing innocents. Fortunatley we are more humane than them, right?
It DOES work...criminals nationwide have gotten the message that if you kill someone here in Texas...
We'll kill you back!
The murder rate was on the rise as of last I checked, and Bush killed all kinds of folks. How is the murder rate there? I bet it's at least leveled off if not onthe rise, which debunks your theory.
So if your framed then do they murder you w/o it being called, "murdering you back?"
So do murderers kidnap people from there and go to Wisconsin to kill so they won't be executed? You act as if there is some kind of rational thought process involved in 1st degree murderers.

I for one am glad to see that this piece of shit is going to die.
Anyone know what form of execution it's going to be?

I agree that Scott should forfeit his life for this atrocity. But, I feel that the death penalty would be a much more effective deterrent if it were conducted in public or even broadcast on network TV.

Good Ole Saddam...heh, heh. He never grasped the concept, that execution and murder are two different things. Slaughter for sport is NOT what I'm talking about. Punishment for crimes committed was public in this country too (USA) during the last century.
